How many other SDMBers have you met?

Well, there was Surfdope 2004 (featuring the late and sorely missed David Simmons), a couple of Vegasfests, the OCfest last year…

None. I keep saying I’ll go to the next dopefest near me, but I never do.

One (my sister, who also posts here).

One, my husband. But he was my husband first, Doper second.

Other than that, none as far as I know. :frowning:

Ok, there’s me and you, LOUNE, Kozmik, olives, Fiveroptic, Heller Highwater, Rikc, GFactor but you skipped that day, nikonikosuru, and I think you missed meeting the ever elusive Figaro, too. And cactus waltz of course, our guest of honor last December.
We should probably count Dominic and my guy and the lovely and ever patient Tracey, no?

Plus I was lucky enough to meet Twickster once, so I’m a couple up on you, neener neener! :stuck_out_tongue:

Somewhere around 30-40. I’ve been to DopeFests in Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York. I’ve met three of the people who’ve posted to this thread.
A handful of Dopers helped me move last year, and a Doper took in my cats when I wasn’t able to keep them when I moved.
I live about 5 minutes from two Dopers, one of whom has given me homemade apple butter and jam.
One Doper gave me a pair of earrings she had made at a small get-together this summer.

Oh, and I’m dating one. :slight_smile:

I’d estimate around 200. I’ve been to over 10 dopefests in Houston alone with different local people showing up over the years. Plus meetings in New York City, New Jersey, Toronto, Rochester, Burlington, and Pollepel Island.

I’ve met at least six in this thread. Apologies if I’ve forgotten anyone.

Hundreds. I’ve been going to dopefests since before they were called dopefests. I think the first one I went to was in 1996 or 1997.

Man, I miss Jonathan Chance’s Halloween parties… those were awesome.

None that I know of… :frowning:

All told, I’m not quite sure. I’d say close to 15 or so?

Quite a few. Some of them have become good friends.

It didn’t hurt that my wife (a Doper) and I organized an LA fest and the aforementioned SurfDope04. Got us right in the middle of the action, it did!

We also have attended a fest in San Diego and the recent Las Vegas get-together.

And on our recent driving trip around the country, we stopped several places to meet Dopers, including wring and samclem.

I’m always up for meeting new people.

Only four I think. And only one of them still posts here so it’s probably just as well. I wouldn’t want to drive anyone else off.

I didn’t forget you, Ginger – I was including you in my count of Calgary Dopers. :stuck_out_tongue:

Maybe I had a class with you! Oh wait, don’t you teach sciency things? Probably less likely then. Anyway, I wasn’t a doper in college.

I think 15 or 20 (and I’m pretty sure none in this thread!). I was just thinking this morning that I’ve been to four dopefests, which is pretty cool for a small backwater town in the southern hemisphere! (Although I have to admit, my first Dopefest was only with two people, and the other guy’s long gone from the boards - where are ya Bill?!?!)

Eighteen, including dearest MilliCal who isn’t “officially” a member.

The list evens out though, because I don’t include Lil’ Jimmy since he’s a fan of those damn Yankees. (I’m going to get this nickname to stick yet!)

Well, I tried never to expose them when I was symptomatic …

I keep threatening to go to Jim’s for the Jersey dopefest but it hasn’t happened yet. I hope I haven’t arrested any of you.

I’ve met probably 30-40. I’ve been two 3 Florida Dopefests and one DFW one. Oh, and I met Biggirl, in New York when I was up there.
